81 had no desire to detain you. I only
wished to say that when you see Gen.
Washington I know you will be just
enough to tell him that Maj. Van Zandt
knew nothing Of your wrongs, or even
your presence here, until you presented
them, and that since then he has treated

man."
Yet even rs he spoke she was gone. At
the moment that her fluttering skirt
swept in furious gallop down the hill
side, the major turned and re-entered the
house The few lounging troopers who
were witnesses Of the scene prudently
turned their eyes from the white face and
blazing eyes of their officer rs he strobe by
them. Nevertheless, when the door
closed behind him, contemporary criticism
broke out:
"'Tis Tory jade, veXed that she cannot
befool the major as she has the captain, 1"
muttered Sergt. Tibbts.
"And going to try her tricks on the
general" added Private Hicks.
Howbeit both these critics may have
been wrong For as Mistress Thankful
Numbered down the Morristown road she
thought of many things. She thought Of
Der sweetheart Allan, prisoner, and pin
ing for her help and her solicitude; and yet
how dared he--if he had really be-
trayed or misjudged her! And then she
thought bitterly Of the count and the
baron, and burned to face the latter, and
in some vague way charge the stolen kiss
upon him rs the cause Of all her shame
and modification. And lastly she thought
of her efather, and began to hate every
body. But above all and through all, In
her vague fears for her father, In her pas
sionate indignation against the baron, in
her fretful Impotence Of Allan, one thing
was ever dominant and obtrusive; one
thing she tried to put away, but could not

Value Of Middle Names.

heard long argument once which
went to prove that every father who did
not give his son middle name was
greatly in error. Said the long winded
speaker: 1T doesn't matter about girls
girls marry and take another namc-but
every man, to amount to anything, should
have middle letter, and it's mean II his
father doesn't give him one. Think Of
James Brown running for congress. He'd
stand q 40 per cent. better chance II his
name happened to be James X. Brown

Many women have at various times
filled offices Of vast responsibility-they
have been queens, regents and expresses,
but always by right Of birth. This Is the
first instance of the appointment Of one
to high executive functions, where the
duties must be done, not by proxy, as n
queen might act, but in person. Phoebe
Couzins was born and reared in st. Louis
and was noted in childhood for executive
talent; she entered the st. Louis high
school at the age of II and graduated at
Is. In 1860 she entered the law depart
ment Of the University Of Washington,
graduated in 1871, was at once admitted
to the bar of Washington, has since been
admitted to practice in the courts OF Ar
kansas and Dakota and finally to the
United States district court at St Louis.
She has conducted no important cases In
court, but has had much practice as coun.
sci, and been prominent as lecturer IN
the cause Of woman suffrage. She has
given the required bond of $50, 600 and
entered on her duties to the general salts.

that the delegates should he assembled in
the handsome brick structure now in

secured in which to hold the opening SEES

From the Peak.

Clarence N. Glover, H. w. Herndon
and w. S. Eicholz have returned from
their jaunt up to the summit of the
Sierras.
They had a fine time and are loud
in their praise of the magnificent
scenery of the cations, the grandeur of
the pines and the novelty OF the trip
generally. They kept their camp fire
burning brightly at night, so that pill
grims might find their resting place,
ostensib!y, but probably mountain
lions figured largely in the case.
The fishing is splendid. but as they
could not get down into the San Ga
briel with their burros they didn't fish. 4.
From these gentlemen We learn that
party of workmen under the direc-
ton Of engineers are at work clearing
a trail down the mountain side, fol-
lowing the spur which runs up from
Eaton's cafIon. This is to afford the
engineers who will soon arrive an op-
portunity to view the proposed route
to better advantage.
This trail will no doubt come into
use by those wishing to make a hasty
trip to the peak, but it will probably
be impracticable for pack animals.
1t will shorten the present route via
Wilson'S trail about seven or. eight
miles.
We have never met one who had
returned from visit to the majestic
Sierra but went into raptures over the
magniticence OF the sccnery.-[Passl.

strongly urged the necessity OF contin-

which were proper to the French

than ever of the qualities of warrior,
for the hour has not yet struck for the
disarmament of the people of Europe.
1t is madness to believe it and
crime to say it, for it points to peace
at any price as the goal to which our

From the Dignity of a NIagfs-
trate's Bench to Rag Picking.
After lying dead on his bed of rags
for nearly five days the nearly decom-
posed body of ex-Alderman John
Grundy, who nearly thirty years ago
was power in the old Schuylkill dis
trict of what is now the Ninth Ward,
was found recently by the police in
the garret of the lodging-house at 529
Alaska street. The mans life during
the past twenty years tells a terrible
story of rum, with a fitting climax in
his death.
Years before the war Grundy was
considered one of the most expert
marble-cutters in the city, and he al
ways had the best of work in the yards
along the West Philadelphia river
front. Money rolled in fast, and he
and his wife, Margaret, lived in COM
fort near the Market street bridge.
Then he became q successful politi-
clan, and was elected Alderman for a
number of terms by the Schuylkil
boys.
A change came. The popular magis
trate took to rum and soon became 6
steady drinker. He lost his office
his employment, and at length he
drifted out of sight and found his way
into Alaska street. There he became
a rag-picker. For years his wife sorted
rags for Patrick Flatley, of Sixth and
st. Mary streets, and he disposed Of
his wares at the same place. All this
time his sprees continued.
1t was last Wednesday morning
early when the dodgers in the house
529 Alaska street saw the eX-Alderman
stagger into his garret room with a
whisky bottle. Then for days they
saw nothing Of him. AS this was nc
unusual thing for the old man Che was
nearly 20 years OF age) they took nc
special heed.
But yesterday several of the dodgers
while passing the door of Grundy's e
apartment noticed a terrible odor, and
they tried the door 1t was locked, SC

nedy, of the Third District, and Po-
licemen Chantry and Rogers. These
men broke through the boards with
an AK. The spectacle presented was
a terrible one. The body of John
Grundy. fully dressed, lay stretched
upon the bed. 1t was in the last
stages of decomposition. Ex-Alder-
man Grundy had died in a garret q
drunkard's death.
Three weeks ago his wife lost the
sight of one eye, and the other was
failing rapidly. She is now in the
almshouse.
Grundy often spoke to his neigh.
bors, by whom he was well liked, o
his old days as police justice. Many
time he predicted to them that his
end would be what it was.-[ Phila
